How do you actually find a saved YouTube video when Watch Later is chaos?

by

I’ve hit the classic YouTube problem: one giant list with thousands of saved videos and no way to actually find the one I need.

My real example: I’ve collected years of BJJ videos. When I want “half-guard sweep vs knee shield” or “north-south escape,” I end up scrolling for minutes, re-saving dupes, or giving up. The list just grows; it never becomes searchable.


I’m curious how you deal with this:

How many videos are in your Watch Later / saved right now?

What’s your current system? (native playlists, spreadsheets/Notion, browser bookmarks… or pure chaos?)


What labels or structure would let you find things in seconds? (e.g., for BJJ: positions, escapes, gi/no-gi; for dev: React/CSS/DB; for design: motion/patterns/case studies)

What’s the last video you couldn’t find when you needed it?


Quick reply template (copy/paste):

Use case: [topic] — [~video count]

Current method: [playlists / Notion / nothing]

Biggest pain: [e.g., duplicates, no search, too long to triage]


“Instant find” would mean: [the 2–3 labels/filters you wish you had]
